<p>What are chances of getting into the dorm I requested? Just out deposit down yesterday</p>
<p>@in0va3: Personally I let my parents handle all the financial stuff, which I realize isn’t the best idea from a personal growth standpoint but whatever. So I don’t know how much “I”'ve taken out in loans.</p>
<p>@Hangman91: Obviously the earlier the better, but it’s pretty hard to tell. If you requested East, chances are you’ll get what you want, with the other areas at a lower (comparatively) success rate per say.</p>
<p>i dont know if u answered this or not
but how exactly are dorms set up
i see east and north stuff like that…
but where would korean asians go to just wondering
or u can just tell me about dorming</p>
<p>I can’t say I’m positive as to what you’re asking. </p>
<p>Here’s a detailed map of the campus (<a href=“http://www.geog.psu.edu/sites/default/files/extended_color.pdf[/url]”>http://www.geog.psu.edu/sites/default/files/extended_color.pdf</a>), which shows where each residence hall area (East, South, Pollock, West, North) are located relative to the rest of the campus buildings. I see a lot of Asians in computer labs to hang out, or just the library I guess.</p>
<p>If you have other questions, try looking through this thread. I know it’s long, but there’s a decent chance your question’s been answered already.</p>

<p>How do 2 + 2 people adapt to the academic and student population change at U - Park? Do they find that U - Park is very demanding compared to their commonwealth campus?</p>
<p>Obviously it’s different for every student dependent upon work ethic, focus, etc. etc., so it’s tough to provide a blanket statement that’s applicable to all branch campus students coming to UP. The handful of people that I know that did it didn’t seem to have a problem with the transition (only complained about finding housing), but there could very well be the same number of people who feel the exact opposite.</p>
<p>Perhaps someone that went through it (or had a child that did) could provide some insight?</p>
<p>For the meal plan, what is the difference between level 2 and level 3? Does the number correlate to how may meals you get per day (as in level 2 gets 2 meals per day each semester, and so on)? What would you suggest? I usually eat 2 meals per day, and I’m planning on eating downtown sometimes as well, not always in dining commons.</p>
<p>Duke26 - Is it worth bringing “Rate my Professor” info/printouts to freshman FTCAP advising or would that be awkward?</p>
<p>@Pens1394: The number level doesn’t correlate to number of meals per day, it’s just a bunch a different levels of “meal points” you can purchase per semester. I would suggest going with level 3 (which is what I got) because it’s near the middle: if you need to add on at the end of the semester (because you’re eating on-campus more than you thought) you can, and if it’s too much they’ll just carry over into the spring semester.</p>
<p>@Theojohn: Yea I’m pretty sure that’d be incredibly awkward. What I’d suggest is to go to FTCAP and get your schedule. Then once the professors are up on [Penn</a> State University - Office of the University Registrar - Schedule of Courses: Course Search](<a href=“http://schedule.psu.edu/]Penn”>http://schedule.psu.edu/), check on RMP and if there’s a professor with just terrible scores, use a site like Schedulizer (or Penn State’s own version, which can be found in elion) to figure out if you can switch into a different section without the rest of your schedule being messed up.</p>
<p>When do professors go up?</p>
<p>That I’m not sure of. I think it’s done on a rolling basis once they figure everything out with professors, probably early-mid summer if I had to guess.</p>
<p>I have ftcap may 18, and what exactly happens that day? Do you pick and choose your classes/ schedule? And if you took a language in high school do they still make you take language “101”</p>
<p>If youve taken two years or less of a language they put you in 001, three years 002 and four years 003</p>
<p>Oh yea, whats the foreign language requirement for biology majors? Do we even have to take one?</p>
<p>I’m almost positive bio majors don’t have to take a foreign language at all. I don’t have anything like that on my requirements page for the general bio option (and I’d bet it’s the same for all the options, as far as foreign lang goes). I have this checklist of requirements for the major already because I’m going to be a junior next year. So yeah, you’re probably off the hook!</p>
<p>I think it would be a good idea to view the recommended academic plan for your intended major before going to FITCAP.</p>
